In truth it was hard to compete with the twins, who were real celebrities, whereas The HPM hasn't quite got to the stage where scores of screaming girls are clamouring for a signed photo. Nevertheless, I battled through the noise of the Face Painting table next to me and the art and craft table further along to read a couple of stories.
I did manage to hold the attention of the audience for a while, but after a few stories it seemed that the lure of make-up was too much for the audience and one by one they slowly disappeared.
Thankfully, Karen the event organiser arranged for another reading at the front of the centre which captured a more attentive audience and once again the Hairy Plug Monster was a huge success with more than a few parents taking a signed copy home with them.
The rest of the week has been spent on other exciting projects which I will tell you more about in the next blog…
But before I go here's a little poem I wrote with Maya-Rose.
The Alien
I saw a little Alien, sat beside a tree
He was small green and slimy and really very smelly
He had a little laser gun and pointed it at me,
With a zap, zap, zap
He vaporised my welly.
sometimes you only need a few lines to get the story across"
